Ben's Auto Driving School FAQ's

Is Ben's Auto Driving School certified by the New York DMV to offer driver training courses?
Although we include Ben's Auto Driving School in our directory of driving schools for Beacon New York, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Ben's Auto Driving School is licensed by the New York DMV.  You should contact Ben's Auto Driving School directly and ask them if you are thinking about signing up to take their Beacon New York driver training class.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in New York, so taking a Beacon behind-the-wheel training course like the one Ben's Auto Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the New York DMV or a licensed driver training school like Ben's Auto Driving School and ask them.  While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will Ben's Auto Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of car--manual-shift or automatic-shift!  However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Ben's Auto Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.  That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Ben's Auto Driving School teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain area, chances are that a local driving instruction institute like Ben's Auto Driving School will include driving lessons specifically tailored to that terrain. 
Now that I'm 14, will New York allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely.  Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit.  We recommend that your contact the New York DMV office or a New York-approved driving school such as Ben's Auto Driving School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in New York.
Am I required to take a Beacon New York classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a driver training course through Ben's Auto Driving School?
This requirement varies from state to state but most states do mandate pre-licensed drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based driver education course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course.  You should ask Ben's Auto Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
New York law says that I must successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training course in order to get licensed to drive in Beacon New York. Is this something that Ben's Auto Driving School can help me with?

What do I need to do to obtain a driver's license in Beacon New York?
It depends on New York's laws, but most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete a safe driving classroom course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.  You may want to call Ben's Auto Driving School to see if they offer the driver training course that would fulfill the regulations set forth by the New York DMV.
